NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) ( Second Revision ) which is identical with ISO 262:1998 ‘ISO general
purpose metric screw threads — Selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts’ issued by the International [J,.
Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation ,$
of the Engineering Standards Sectional Committee and approval of the Basic and Production Engineering ‘;1
i“
Division Council.

This standard was originally issued in 1967 and subsequently revised in 1976. The first revision was
based on ISO 965/1 ‘ISO general purpose metric screw threads —Tolerances — Part 1: Principles and
basic data’, DIN 13 Sheet 14 and DIN 13 Sheet 15 covering the tolerances. This second revision has
been issued by adopting ISO 262:1998 and covers the selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts which
were earlier covered in IS 4218 ( Part 6 ) :1978 and IS 12241 :1987. The principles and basic data for $
;
tolerances on screws, bolts and nuts now covered in Part 1 of new standard, that is’ IS 14962 ( Part 1 )
‘[ ,“
published on tolerances for ISO general purpose metric screw threads by adopting ISO 965-1:1998. )4
After the publication of this standard IS 4218 ( Part 6 ) :1978 and IS 12241 :1987 stand withdrawn. ;’
The Committee, responsible for preparation of Indian Standards on Screw Threads, decided to revise all $’
,’
the six parts of IS 4218 in the following manner:

a) The revised IS 4218 to be published in four parts, that is ( Parts 1 to 4 ) adopting

ISO 68-1:1998, ISO 261:1998, ISO 724:1993 and ISO 262:1998 respectively covering the
various requirements of ISO general purpose metric screw threads except tolerances;

b) For tolerances on ISO general purpose metric screw threads a new standard, that is IS 14962 to
be published in five parts, that is ( Parts 1 to 5 ) by adopting ISO 965 ( Part 1 ) :1998, <,,
ISO 965 ( Part 2 ) :1998, ISO 965 ( Part 3 ) :1998, ISO 965 ( Part 4 ) :1998 and ISO 965
~
( Part 5 ) :1998 respectively; and
~;
c) After the publication of above standards IS 4218 ( Part 5 ): 1979 and IS 4218 ( Part 6 ) :1978 j,
stand withdrawn.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. In the adopted standard certain conventions are not identical to those used in Indian Standards.
Attention is especially drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is
to use a full point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

(Second Revision )

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies selected sizes for screws, bolts and nuts in the diameter range from 1 mm to
64 mm of ISO general purpose metric screw threads (M) having basic profile according to ISO 68-1.

These selected sizes are recommended also for general engineering use.

These screw threads are selected from ISO 261.

For thread designations see ISO 965-1.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. Ail standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International. Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.
